Code. Each payment shall be accompanied by a statement showing separately the
amount collected for each class of permits in each municipal corporation and in
each township outside the limits of any municipal corporation in such

An amount equal to forty-five per cent of the fund shall be paid from the fund

Whenever,
in the judgment of the director of budget and management, the amount of money
that is in the state liquor regulatory fund is in excess of the amount that is

commission, the director shall credit the excess amount to the general revenue
fund.

Twenty
per cent of the undivided liquor permit fund shall be paid into the statewide

This amount shall be appropriated by the general assembly, together with an
amount equal to one and one-half per cent of the gross profit of the division
of liquor control derived under division (B)(4) of section 4301.10 of the
Revised Code, to the department of mental health and
addiction services. In planning for the allocation of and in allocating

extent that the funds are derived from liquor permits within the territory
comprising such fire district.

For the purpose of the distribution required by this section, E, H, and D

municipal corporation or township wherein the owner or operator of the vehicle,
boat, vessel, or dining car equipment to which the permit relates has the
owner's or operator's principal office or place of business within the
state.

(F)
If the
liquor control commission determines that the police or other officers of any
municipal corporation or township entitled to share in distributions under this
section are refusing or culpably neglecting to enforce this chapter and Chapter
4303. of the Revised Code, or the penal laws of this state relating to the
manufacture, importation, transportation, distribution, and sale of beer and
intoxicating liquors, or if the prosecuting officer of a municipal corporation
or a municipal court fails to comply with the request of the commission
authorized by division (A)(4) of section 4301.10 of the Revised Code, the
commission, by certified mail, may notify the chief executive officer of the
municipal corporation or the board of township trustees of the township of the
failure and require the immediate cooperation of the responsible officers of
the municipal corporation or township with the division of liquor control in
the enforcement of those chapters and penal laws. Within thirty days after the
notice is served, the commission shall determine whether the requirement has
been complied with. If the commission determines that the requirement has not
been complied with, it may issue an order to the superintendent to withhold the
distributive share of the municipal corporation or township until further order
of the commission. This action of the commission is reviewable within thirty
days thereafter in the court of common pleas of Franklin county.

equal to fifty per cent of the fees collected shall be paid from the state
liquor regulatory fund into the general revenue fund.
